The strike rate indicates a trader’s rate of success or failure. It is simply the percentage of profitable or loss-making trades executed in any given period. On SAMCO’s trading app, traders can compare their winning and losing strike rates based on the strategy used, the market sector or market capitalisation.
A high winning strike rate indicates that a trader is adopting winning strategies or is trading in market segments that they are familiar with. A high losing strike rate, on the other hand, calls for a revaluation of the trading plan. Please refer to Image 2.
Traders may track whether they’ve gained or lost in the markets, but such profits and losses are rarely quantified. SAMCO’s trading app makes it possible to track this metric in post-trade analysis. It shows traders the average size of the profits/losses generated per trade over a given period.
Ideally, traders must aim to maximise their average win/profit size, while keeping the average loss size to a minimum. By comparing the average win/loss sizes across strategies, sectors and market cap segments, retail participants can identify areas that require additional efforts. Please refer to Image 3.
The average holding period in SAMCO’s trading app is a feature born out of the lesser-known truth — that traders must let their winners run, but cut their losses short. The reality is quite contrary, because most traders tend to hold on to losing traders due to impractical optimism, but exit winning trades too early to make any real changes to their overall success.
This metric in the ‘My Trade Story’ attempts to empower traders to take the winning route, so they can maximise their winning days and cut down on the losing days. This feature is also available segment-wise, strategy-wise and market cap-wise. Please refer to Image 4.
The brokerage firm also provides clear guidelines to traders on how they can interpret their trade score and what they need to do about it. A preview of how the trade score can be explained based on its value, as mentioned in image 5.
Multi-Level Insights to Uncover the Andekha Sach in Every Trade
The trading app from SAMCO Securities also comes with the industry-first ‘My Trade Story’ feature — which functions as a report card that reveals the true picture of trades. Through this feature, traders can access their Trade Spreadsheet, which provides previous unseen trading insights about past trades at the following levels:
Periodic review of these hidden truths and blind spots is a holy grail formula that many market legends have long utilised to consistently outperform their benchmarks. This method of in-depth post-trade analysis has enabled market greats to discern the most effective strategies and identify key areas for improvement.
Delving into these hidden insights gives traders a window into their unique strengths and vulnerabilities. By harnessing this knowledge, traders can not only capitalise on their areas of expertise but also refine their skills where needed, paving the way for remarkable improvements in overall trading performance — a proven path followed by many of the greatest minds in the market.
Speaking of the often-neglected practice of in-depth post-trade analysis, Nilesh Sharma explained:
“Traders typically follow a four-step cycle: pre-trade research, strategy development, execution, and post-trade analysis. While the first three steps often receive meticulous attention, the crucial fourth step — post-trade analysis — is frequently overlooked. Neglecting to evaluate and review performance leaves traders in the dark about their trading errors and the areas that require improvement.
The reasons for neglecting post-trade analysis vary. Some traders don’t recognize its importance, others may not have the tools to effectively measure these metrics, and some attempt manual analysis, which can lead to inaccuracies. At SAMCO Securities, we’ve made it our mission to help traders from all walks of life overcome these challenges. The Andekha Sach feature in our trading app simplifies and enhances post-trade analysis, so traders can easily refine their strategies for better future performance.”
The unseen trading insights shared on the SAMCO trading app do more than just tackle the challenges outlined above. Traders enjoy diversified benefits from these hidden truths and post-trade analytics.

Retail investor participation in the Indian financial markets has seen a tremendous uptick in the post-pandemic world. Despite this, a disturbing trend has emerged. While some traders undoubtedly have a high success rate in the markets, most bleed red and lose significant amounts of capital. A recent study by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) that substantiated this state of affairs found that 9 out of 10 traders lost money in the F&O segment — with average losses coming in at Rs. 1.1 lakhs.
In light of this concerning trend, analysing trade patterns emerges as a crucial factor in setting successful traders apart from those who incur losses. Understanding and addressing the 'Andekha Sach' or unseen truths behind their trading decisions becomes essential for traders in this challenging environment. It is also vital to identify and rectify blind spots in their trading strategies — a task that many traders struggle to do effectively on their own. This brings us to the pressing need for analytical tools and resources that can assist traders in gaining a more profound and comprehensive understanding of their market actions.
Nilesh Sharma, Executive Director & President of Limited, believes there’s one crucial aspect that makes a difference: post-trade analysis.
With over a decade of experience in the securities industry, Sharma has had a rewarding professional journey that has given him incisive insights into the behaviour of traders across various demographics. As the ED of SAMCO Securities, he is now in a unique position that allows him to understand the challenges faced by traders today and develop tailored solutions to optimise their trading performance.
The trading app from SAMCO Securities is one such offering from the brokerage firm. In its upgraded avatar, the app offers several unique features that empower traders to look beyond mere profits and losses and truly understand their trading performance. Aptly named ‘Andekha Sach’ or hidden truths, these features analyse the past trades of every trader to reveal previously unseen insights about their trading strategies. The trading insights are accompanied by actionable suggestions that allow traders to improve their overall success rate in the market segment of their choice.
SAMCO’s trading app features several specific trade analytics that give traders more clarity on their trading patterns. These metrics quantify the trader’s performance in the markets and add a new depth to their trading story.

The SAMCOTrade Score serves as the culmination point, integrating all aspects of a trader’s journey. It accounts for the strike rate and the average win/loss size, and quantifies the overall success of a trader into a comparable number using a simple formula:
| SAMCO Trade Score: (Winning Trade % x Average Gain %) ÷ (Losing Trade % x Average Loss %) |
The brokerage firm also provides clear guidelines to traders on how they can interpret their trade score and what they need to do about it. A preview of how the trade score can be explained based on its value, as mentioned in image 5.

- Benchmark-Level Insights: Comparing trades to benchmark index returns gives traders a clear perspective of their trading performance relative to market movements. This, in turn, is essential for understanding how effective the trades are in monetary terms.
